Not them becoming the male version of The Saturdays.

mj clones aren't eligible for king status, wot is this nonsense logic
I guess if you say "the closest thing" in that there's no real competition from any male pop artist, then yeah, sure. By deduction, you could very well say that.
you have no room to talk about ghetto jpgs
especially coming for Kyon who is more memorable than the farts that you post here
maybe if I had posted some low frame-rate gaming gif you would have wet yourself

MJ is still The King until someone worthy comes for his wig.
Timberlake is not that person.
Timberlake is not that person.
Culturally speaking another MJ is impossible. Musically speaking JT is only a couple smash albums away.
looking through roman reloaded, I actually find that I enjoy quite a bit of the tracks. Roman Holiday, Beez, I Am Your Leader, Starships, Whip It, and Roman Reloaded all slay.
I can't with you.
bye i wasn't going to debase myself by stanning nicki back in april of 2012.
Agreed.
Yup. Even at his best Timberlake just isn't original enough. Kanye has a more legitimate claim but he's not pop-focused.

Ya.
Obviously no one's going to match MJ's cultural relevance within our lifetimes, but JT would need at least three more "SexyBack"-caliber smashes to even qualify as a worthy heir. He'd also need to carve out his own unique identity instead of bandying himself about as some type of throwback artist.
Yeah, but consider how far he's come since NSYNC, I'd say he has the growth potential for originality. Give him a few more albums and see where he ends up.
No one else is really on the radar anyways.
Honestly I just don't see it. Has he really ventured that far past Girlfriend (last nsync single) outside of SexyBack?
RED still has 2 million to go before it outsells it

i would go with kanye. as mentioned he's not pop focused in terms of genre, but MBDTF had universal cultural impact - that's the important part imo. the originality and sheer quality of that record was magnificent. i remember watching runaway for the first time and feeling like someone was finally addressing the world with the urgency and relevance of how michael used to, gave me chills
Better than Skrillex.

RED has already sold significantly more in the US.
WW last I saw it was about a million behind though.
At the end of the day (after the re-release) RED will have sold a lot more than BTW.
not to mention his brand of rap is barely recognized by rap fans anyways.
can't say "new KoP can't copy MJ" and then say "he doesn't sound like MJ so he's not KoP"
not that anyone here did that
maybe biggest upgrade ever made
it will happen one day, mark my words sis
and the monsters will fume
maybe, but you gave me an idea for a thread
that is an understatement
JT isn't original enough to be the next MJ.
JT isn't as dedicated to music and performing as MJ was. MJ lived and breathed this life. JT took a seven year break between albums.
JT isn't BOLD enough to be the next MJ. People forget how much of a PIONEER MJ was. Even the critics who PRAISED 20/20 admit that it wasn't much of a "growth" for JT.
I guess as far as big names go Justin's the closest to MJ out of anyone in the game right now (and, even then, I'd say there are some key areas where Justin Beiber has him beat. Hell, I don't even LIKE Bieber and I can admit that). But really, being honest, that says LESS about how great JT is, and MORE about how fucking pathetic the Male Pop game is right now.
I mean, just look at the ladies' side. Madonna is easily the Queen of Pop, with accolades and impact to rival even MJ. And ALREADY there are several girls lined up with a legitimate claim to the throne, with real receipts and real impact to show for it.
In comparison, JT is MILES away from where he needs to be to even be CONSIDERED a "true" heir.

well, she IS the black madonna ...
I wonder why male pop is suffering so much right now?
lol, I didn't realize there was a such a height disparity.
Not bad, Ellie. Not bad.

Yup, even Beyoncé and Taylor are more progressive and impactful than JT.
Yes Ellie. Keep him all to yourself and make him make you some smash hits.
Are you here for "I Need Your Love"?
Cause certain people aren't.
I give it 3.4 stars tbh

they're all too influenced by the king and can't let it go. neyo, jt, beiber, it's all clone work
it's ok to be inspired by him, but take inspiration from his work ethic and commitment to pushing boundaries. what we got now is just pastiche, and jt (despite the good execution) is the epitome of that
although madonna is the established queen, who out of the current female pop stars is cribbing her? you can only make a case for gaga, and even then it's very wink wink and knowing, she still carries her own unique assets
nailed it
Anyone into my Austin, TX girls FEATHERS???
i'm listening to their new album now and it's p good

more of an electronic thread thing than a pop thread thing though maybe
